"Iteration" output of repeat zone should be renamed to be more clear
The issue with the name of "iteration":
- It's not very clear by the name. It only mentions the "index" nature of it in the tooltip.
- it becomes more confusing as there's another "iterations" right below it. Users may treat two terms as 100% the same thing.
I've found too many users didn't realize the use of it. Unfortunately many users won't use tooltips or manual. In fact, the similarity between "iterations" and "iteration" may actively prevent people from thinking them as two different terms of two different meanings.
and therefore I propose a name change that emphasizes the concept of index as explained in the tool tips:
- Loop Index
- Repeat Index
- Iteration Index.
etc.
To me changing the name also align it better with the "inspection index".

Unfortunately many users won't use tooltips or manual.
It's one thing to say "this feature needs usability improvement" or "this documentation isn't helpful."
Another entirely to say "feature should change because user won't read anything offered for learning."
Thanks for reminder, I updated the description in this case. Mainly I want to emphasize that "iteration" and "iterations" looks so similar and users may not realize that one means "index of the current iteration" and the other means "the count of all iterations". It's not just few users reading tooltips or manual, but also the name disguises the necessity of using tooltips.
and yes. Even with tooltips and manual. I suggest a name more easier for understanding, instead of randomly assign confusing terms. (unfortunately, being unable to upload image somehow make writing this proposal very difficult.)
